Many interesting recommendations, sadly i read both of your action orientated manga. A third option is allways great. I really like storys as bakuman or Death Note. Btw the Nickelodeon got me, i was like....eh? The i read the next post from "whatsinaname" recommended me saturn apartments....googled it and first image.. cat in space suit....eh?

I guess i should really expand my horizon

Ha ha, don't get hung up on that. Give the first chapter a shot. It is a great Sci-Fi slice of life/coming of age manga.

Is it me or is Crunchyroll's manga interface absolutely awful? I must be missing something because I can't imagine people actually using this thing.

And you somehow still like Boys On The Run after making this critical analysis of the plot and art Zweizer... The world will never make sense to me.

Boys on the Run is different in that while it can be painful to get through, it has inherent value with its core themes and messages, with characters who are far more fleshed out and situations that are believable, if not relatable, with generally logical developments and outcomes, with implementations who feel more than excuses to shock its audience for the sake of it.

It's not a pleasant read by any means, but it has worth in being read.

For Action-oriented manga, there is also Kingdom and Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer, though the former is rather long so it doesn't really fit your "no endless" requirement. The latter is pretty good, if rather bizarre.

Nickelodeon is a collection of quirky yet thought-provoking short stories. If you wish to expand your horizons, it's a pretty good place to start.

So you finally read it. I hope you enjoyed it~

I loved it Zweizer, I loved it. My only gripe is that I hate reading sad manga...

This chalks it up next to Sundome and that manga (forgot the name) that has this guy who's body was manufactured to hold an infinite amount of chi but it just comes out and becomes useless for this other guy, who practices immortal arts,to take over his body. The MC feel in love with the guy who wants to take over his body's wife and end up falling for each other and she dies at the end while he was giving her a piggy back ride along the beach...............

Ore to Kanojo no Moe yo Pen 01


An aspiring manly shounen mangaka becomes the assistant of a super moe moe moe mangaka. Now I guess he works on his manga serialized or falling into the trap of moe.

Eh, sure, why not.

How are you able to read so many series
 
What's this manga about?

Ordinary people trapped in a world full of tall buildings/skyscrapers where they're stuck at the top with no idea how they got there in the first place.

All the while, some masked people are trying to kill them by either using direct means or making them fall to their deaths.

It is, though the apps are usable. I put up with them because the translation quality is fine; they're just marred by the website's interface. Plus, you know, legit. But again, the apps are fine.
 

Great.

I have to witness this in my manga too?

Already have to deal with it when going out with my buddies.

Including last night, when we went out to eat at a Texas Roadhouse and half of them took out their phones for a goddamn burger.

Hajime no Ippo 1080-1083

Takamura talking about the time they have left felt like a meta comment after the author realized how long he's been stalking.

This last few chapters served as a reminder how Ippo is about the least interesting character in his own series, and made me once again annoyed that Sendo lost twice to him (really what was the point of that? Just screams of lack of planning, Sendo and Ippo should be in a tie at this point to maximize their rivalry... plus Sendo just comes off as a flat out better boxer than Ippo)

Pendulum has been swinging the other way ever since Dark Souls popularized spider lady porn.

I can definitively see the argument that Dark Souls made in favour of spider girls.
It's mainly due to the personality of most depicted spider girls, who tend to be more assertive, mischievous and unconventional compared to the other characters.

So what you're saying is that MangaGAF sees behind the physical?

Its transcended everything we know.
 
Shishunki Bitter Change 22-23

I was always wondering if they'll just end up falling in love with each other but kinda doesn't look like that anymore. Also now with a touch of :DTL too~

Good volume. Ayumi mother kissing Maya was a very emotional scene and works well into the theme of who was really born "with it all" between Maya and Ayumi.

The award ceremony should be a good change of pace, it feels a bit early for Maya to win it, but after her performance it'd be hard to justify any other result

MangaGAF isn't always that shallow, you know!
I suppose that's true.... Unless...

I wish there was something like Nozoki Ana again.

Nothing isl ike it so far
Yeah, quite liked the series. It stretched itself too long though.

Edit: I'll add that the gore itself might be unsettling to some, but honestly this is the kind of stuff that loses its bite after you've seen it once. If anything, this just proves that a huge portion of MangaGAF need to expand their horizons.
If anything, my Samuel Johnson reaction picture is more baffled than surprised or shocked.
I don't think I've ever seen religion being portrayed fairly in animanga depiction. Even good show such as Spice and Wolf and Legend of the Galactic Heroes still fall to this trapping.

Historical mangas are usually a fun read, like Historie and I just stumbled on this one by chance, good art, interesting characters and I like the settings.

Still haven't read it cause I can't find volume 7 and 8 everywhere :(

Works for me well on my work pc and sometimes on mobile, oftentimes on my home pc I cant read stuff on the day they come out cause it is perpetually loading.

Ran into perpetual loading when I was trying to read Kings Game Origin yesterday :(
 
Seeing earlier reactions to this series. I just had to read it.

That's some edgy shit. I don't know if I can continue. Though I'm glad as fuck they didn't show any other
torture methods
. Seriously though back in Medieval times they had some sickening
torture methods.
Don't look that shit up, seriously it will destroy you.

Oh yeah screw those
pedophiles.
 
Mozuya-san Gyakujousuru

Mozuya Koto is afflicted with the medically accepted disorder known as Dr Josef Tsundere’s Bipolar Personality Disorder, or just “tsundere” for short. With her golden hair, blue eyes, twin tail, and being rich on top of all that, Mozuya Koto comes equipped with all the basic necessities of being a top class tsundere. When Mozuya wants to be friends with somebody or when she likes somebody, she will take offensive actions that are completely opposite from what a normal person would actually do in the same situation and it is completely outside of Mozuya’s control. The manga is pretty serious most of the time, focusing on Mozuya’s troubles with getting along with people as she keeps turning violent due to her tsundere disorder.

Seeing that picture made me think it was a manga of Amagi Brilliant Park immediately :|

I still think that Angel Densetsu is one of most underrated manga. So I wonder if anyone here have read that manga yet?

Love it. I like it more than claymore, that's for sure.

Hello Manga Gaffer...This is nearly the same post as myopening post in Anime Gaf, yo you will maybe see it twice? Anyway, after days of stucking in the queue i'm finally allowed to post. So hello hello wise men and girls of manga and other stuff.

I went absent from Manga nearly 4 1/2 years, but around a month ago i decided it's time for some Anime and Manga. Reread of hunterxhunter and Berserk were my manga of choice.

I guess i missed a lot of great stuff in the last years, so i'm asking you to help me out of this misery. When it comes to genres i'm split into two persons.

I enjoy action as much as i enjoy romance/drama, so i'm looking for both.

Action requirements:

Story has to be "ok"
Good artstyle realistic looking characters, enlarged on the setting. I would read mecha to, hell i love Film like Pacific Rim :3
Setting: Scifi->present age->Sport->Medi-Evil->Fantasy
No endless manga like OP, Bleach
No use of ecchi elements, only if they are required for the story or could happen in real life to.
In terms of artstyle i prefer very sharp images or washed out chars and pretty natural looking backgrounds: berserk, HunterxHunter, Tenjo Tenge

Romance/ Slice of Life requirements:

Story has to be ok but also the main aspect
Brillant drawing and realistic looking characters, Taiga from Toradora was on the edge. Deformation is a no go.
Setting:
Drama->Dram/Rom->Rom->Rom/Com->Dram/Com
College->High-school->Working and education
Ecchi elements only if necessary
In terms of artstyle i prefer very sharp images or washed out chars and pretty natural looking backgrounds: as above

The last Manga which i enjoyed (my scale of personal enjoyment) were:

Terra ForMars: 9/10
Nanatsu no Taiza: 8/10
Eyeshield 21: 9/10
Elfen Lied: 10/10
HunterXHunter: 10/10
Liar Game: 7/10
High School of the Dead: 10/10
No-Zo-Ki-A-Na: 7/10

Manga on my Bookshelf at the moment: Tokyo Ghoul, Nisekoi, Sankarea.
So, hope this will help you to get in my twisted mind and recommend me something i will enjoy. As i wrote above the character artwork is an important point for me.

Also sorry for the grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. English isn't my native language but i will try to do my best and fit in.

Thanks for reading this and again Hello Neogaf!

Welcome!
Some manga recommendation:
- Cross Game by Adachi Mitsuru.
- Silver Spoon by Hiromu Arakawa
- Slam Dunk by Takehiko Inoue
- Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer by Mizukami Satoshi
